Trump rips George Bush!

The former calls for unity during this pandemic. And there comes the ridicule from Trump! Trump has just proven his motive! He doesn’t care what happens to this country and will to stomp on those who get in the way of his ego! Pathetic!

Bush was not a great person or president! But I willing to accept his call for unity! Trump is by far more dangerous than Bush was ever thought to be!

Obama even gave him credit during H1V1. That should make a great Biden ad. I am the President for all Americans.

When Bush said: “Let us remember that empathy and simple kindness are essential powerful tools of national recovery,”

Trump thought: I don't know what any of those words mean!

And empathy and kindness are for losers. He can’t even fake those qualities convincingly.

In a three-minute video shared on Twitter on Saturday, Bush urged Americans to remember "how small our differences are in the face of this shared threat."

"In the final analysis, we are not partisan combatants, we are human beings, equally vulnerable and equally wonderful in the site of god," Bush said. "We rise or fall together, and we are determined to rise."

In an early morning tweet on Sunday, Trump called out Bush for his failure to support him as he faced an impeachment trial earlier this year over his alleged dealings with Ukraine. He cited apparent comments from Fox News anchor Pete Hegseth, who asked why Bush didn't push for "putting partisanship aside" amid the trial.

"He was nowhere to be found in speaking up against the greatest Hoax in American history," Trump said.

He quiets those he can control by firing them. The people he cannot fire, he publicly denigrates them. Both are part of his narcissistic bullying tactics.
